Yeah, it's not really clear. It's complicated by the fact that the
datacenter where it's at needs a networking revamp in order to bring
it back up. :(

I think both of the above are things that we could run in our prod/stg
openshift instances under the 'we provide the platform, you handle the
day to day app and development issues'.
That kind of a setup would work for us.
I think both of these are pretty small resource wise too?
Testdays is very small, yes.
Oraculum, on the other hand, is less small because it's looking for and
storing a bunch of data. That being said, I'm not sure what you would
consider large.

Thats harder, but I think if you narrowed it down to one or two and
wanted to get wider testing with them, we could probibly set you up
with some aws instances? This would be completely seperate from the
rest of infra and you will be responsible for everything with them
(configuration, updates, etc). But that might be fine for a short term
testing thing.
At the moment, we're only looking at one option - kiwitcms [1].
Unfortunately, there isn't much out there that comes close to doing
what we need it to do.

What would be the best way to go about requesting an AWS instance?
Infra ticket, I assume? Would the setup for the test instance need to
be in the ansible repo?
Thanks,
